Drawn From History: An Essex Sketchbook<\/strong> is not only a celebration of Essex and it’s rich history and architectural heritage, but also an honest diary of my journey as a self-taught watercolour artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It features 52 ink and watercolour paintings in chronological order, starting from 2022, and uncovers how my style has evolved over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each artwork is annotated with historical insights, stories and events that have shaped these cherished buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a local resident, visitor of Essex or interested in urban sketching, Drawn From History<\/em> offers a visual journey through Essex’s past. Combining artistic interpretation, historical storytelling and a perfect keepsake of the places we hold dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you will find as much joy in this book as I have experienced in making it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
